< Verse >
The storm’s still raging in Bayou Land
The people got nothing can’t understand
Looked for an answer from Uncle Sam
Had to depend on their fellow man
< Verse >
Those that had got outta’ the way
Them that didn’t had to stay
All were equal on that day
Traveling through the storm
< Bridge >
The world was watching on TV
Laying odds on what they’d see
Don’t be surprised at what they saw
If it happened to one it happened to all
< Turn >
< Verse >
Disaster came to our land
It touched our southern shore
Next time east next time west
Next time maybe north
< Verse >
Ashes to ashes dust to dust
Some were lost along the way
To those who live and those who give
Belongs the brightness of the day
